Some movies have jaw-dropping special effects, some movies have Oscar winning actors, and some movies have heartwarming stories. Thinking about the movies I have seen in the past, I realize that although special effects become quickly dated and actors constantly change, a great story never gets old.

Of course, this movie made quite a bit of money, but then again, who can resist sweet, little orphan
